into a global energy leader. today the global energy world is realigning with the united states poised to remain a dominant global player, something that was unforeseen just a decade ago. the energy policy decisions we make today will determine whether this nation remains a positive stabilizing force in the world's energy market and whether consumers can continue to count on reliable, affordable, and abundant domestically produced energy for years to come. domestically, the energy renaissance, which has created an unprecedented surplus of energy, has significantly lowered energy costs for american consumers and delivered a sizable lift to our u.s. economy. for example, the energy information administration estimates that the american consumers have now saved on average $700 in 2015 on transportation fuel costs alone. as a result of this abundant energy. the average u.s. income was $1200 higher in 2012 given lower home energy costs brought about by unconventional development. the figure could reach as much as $350
